Given that we were on the somewhat breezy patio, the flatbread cooled off quickly and it would have been improved if served on a warmed-up plate.

We enjoyed our visit, dining on the patio. A nice selection of wines by the glass and beer, and a somewhat limited menu (which was just fine - enough choices for just about anyone). We started with a wonderful warm asparagus salad. For mains, we had the gnocchi pomodoro and the mushroom flatbread. The gnocchi were amazingly light and fluffy and quite delicious. The flatbread was a nice mix of mushrooms, arugula and cheese. Given that we were on the somewhat breezy patio, the flatbread cooled off quickly and it would have been improved if served on a warmed-up plate. The setting on the patio was uncrowded with several family groups having a great time. It's a perfect spot if you have little ones but also want to enjoy a nice meal.

We're glad the setting felt welcoming and family-friendly, even on a breezy day. We hope to welcome you back again soon for another enjoyable meal—indoors or out!
